Different Number of Posts in Home, Category, Tag or Archive Page

Posted at 22nd March 2009 · Filed in Blogging Tips

In WordPress (Dashboard >> Settings >> Reading) you can set the number of posts to be displayed on your home page. The problem is, when you do that, all other pages like the category page, tag or even archive page will have the same number of posts.

Luckily there’s a plugin that allows you to adjust the number or post to be displayed on each every page.

Say Hello! to the MaxBlogPress Different Post Per Page wordpress plugin. I have installed it and currently I have set the tag, category and archive page to be 10 while my home page to only list 5 posts. It will be easier for those who are looking for additional information on my blog based on a specific tag or category.

One of the best feature I like about this plugin is the ability to also set the number of post per category.

    i like your recent comments plugin.. it shows the comment body, and it doesnt include your comment in the list..
    but i’m too lazy to google it.. :)

    Aku nak cari plugins yang boleh meng’page’ kan comment..
    Sebab ada entri aku comment dah byk.. nak didelete sayang sebab ada faedahnya.. tapi dah terlalu panjang cam semak je.. kalau ada page nampak ok sikit..

    I see, so this plugin rewrite the code inside the archives.php.

    p/s: New version of whitebeans will come out soon after wordpress 2.8 released. =)

    @Budeen
    that one i’m using the one from http://rmarsh.com/ Actually most recent comment plugins allows u to make adjustment.

    @Zool
    if you want to change your post to page, that’s not a big problem. (1) create a page (2) install a 301 redirection plugin
    (3) redirect (4) delete old post
    done :)

    @Bat
    I didn’t really check the codes, but it will help when i upgrade to the new version of Whitebeans later :)

    @Cyza
    it’s all up to you

    btw, using this plugin requires you to subscribe to the mailing list. same like the rest of maxblogpress plugins
